Advertised as the "World's fastest way to create cartoons!"

Chogger
Like iLife but better.AdvertisedasUse our comic builder to draw your own comics, caption photos, take webcam pictures and add speech balloons."

Pixton
I think pixton is a fun way of making comics, it's really easy and quite a lot of fun. However, it requires you to register for it. You need a screen name, password, date of birth, gender and your e-mail adrress. This looks quite wasy to register, but if you are under the age of 19, then you need to get your parent's/parents' information. It lets you do quite a lot of things.
Pixton is a really good app because it makes making a comic really easy but there are some errors because sometimes it made my lap top freeze when it did more than three things at a time. But overall i think it is worth it that you register because then it opens up more options for you to play with. I spent probably half an hour playing with the tools in the app and i still don't think i covered all of it. If you need a comic or just bored, then go to Pixton and see what it can do for you.

Artisan Cam
Its easy to use but there isn't a lot of background. characters, and speech boxes, which makes it boring.

Creaza
This product use to be free,now it is offered at a limited capacity.

Make Beliefs Comix
Make Beliefs Comix is a wonderful site, you have so many options of what your characters should be doing. You can make your characters do anything! It's a wonderful site to make comic strips! It's simple, yet to the point! I would recommend this site to all ages.

Grammarman comic
Not a comic making site, but a site that uses comics to teaches grammar. "

ComicLife
Comic life is a great application that helps time go by. There has been updates of this application recently and when you use it, its hard to stop. There are tons of effects that you can use. This would include; speech bubbles graffiti and spray paint!

This application is good. You can do several different things with it. Like; "comic book" pages, picture editing (effects) and much more! This application is great for a project in which you need to explain or define a certain thing. This software does exactly what it was made to do, and does it right. What I love about this is that its so useful in a few subjects (*Cough* D.T. *Cough*). There isn't much to dislike about this application, it has so many great things; speech bubbles, awesome animation and so much more!
